Iodine: Breast Cancer Cure?
I’ve been reading the new book, [easyazon-link asin=”098603200X” locale=”us”]The Iodine Crisis: What You Don’t Know About Iodine Can Wreck Your Life[/easyazon-link] by Lynne Farrow, founder of BreastCancerchoices.org. (Look for my review on the blog soon.)

Breast cancer rates have risen since the 1970s as iodine consumption decreased and anti-iodine bromine exposure increased.
Bromide pesticides and fire retardants will wind up being the new DDT, a pesticide banned in 1972, is still present in the breast tissue of women born later than that date. If the underlying cause of thyroid, breast and other hormone-driven diseases is iodine deficiency, then bromide dominance is the underlying cause of that deficiency.
Iodine and Breast Cancer Statistics
Some statistics about iodine and breast cancer:

- Thyroid cancer rates rose 182 percent between 1975 and 2005.
